section . which broke out on the 26th of January in the city of Alajuela, province of Costo Rico, Cen tral America. The revolt was made in the name of the King of Spain, and caused much alarm among the Republicans, on account of the rapidity with which it spread among the Indians. The leader was JOSE . ZAMORA, a Lieutenant-Colonel, who reached the.province of Costo Rico from Colombia. ZA MORA was seven days at the head of the rebels before he was taken ; and such was' the dread he inspired, that.the Republicans shot him twelve hours after he fell into their hands, which was on the 6th of Fe bruary. Several other prisoners were taken, and con dernnef), to the mines. We publish from an AMerican paper the following article, with the letter annexed to it, from Mr. BUCHANAN, the British Consul at New York. Without any other information on the subject than the prima facie evidence of the impropriety of the conduct of the American Captain, afforded by the cir cumstance of the Marine Court at New York having inflicted a fine upon him, we can only remark that it appears to us to be a most extraordinary proceeding o» the part of our Consul to repay the American Skipper the am oun t o f t h e fi ne so l ev i e d upon him. If the seaman ungratefully repaid the preservation of his life by improper conduct on board, we may lament the depravity of his feelings—but it would not justify the master in having recourse to illegal means of punishing such conduct, which the sentence of his own Court proves he adopted : and at all events, we think Mr. BUCHANAN might with bet ter taste, have manifested his sense of the Master's humanity in saving the persons from the wreck, by presenting some compliment to him on that specific ground, in preferenc e to presenting him with th e sum which he had ( no doubt, properly) been made to pay for an act of in/it/ma/tug to a British subject ! the jus tice of the decision of the American. Court is also vir tually implicated by this proceeding of our Consul. The following is the article in question " The ship Isaac Hicks, Capt.'MoisoN, which ar rived at New York the 21st of May, on the night of the 18th of April, in long. 20, fell in with and took off the Captain and crew of the English brig Shp' sey, which sunk a few minutes afterwards, and only one barrel of pork and two hags of bread were saved from the wreck. During the twenty-four days the unfortunate crew were on hoard the Isaac Hicks, they were treated by Capt. IVlorsox with all the hospitality in his power; the officers lived with him in the cabin, and births I were built in the steerage for the crew, to the annoy ance of the passengers, and they were fed with the same provisions as Ins own crew. After they had been on board two days, Captain MOISON deemed it pro per to place them on the watches, and gave orders to that effect. Three of the crew refused to obey, and made, use of insolent language to Captain Moisox and his officers. After importuning them three days to go to work, two of them went to their duty—the third continued refractory, and insulted the officers daily. In order to preserve good order and discipline, Captain MolsoN found it necessary to chastise this man, and had him punished-18 stripes with a hand lead line. For this act Captain MotsoN was brought before the Marine Court of New York and sentenced to pay a fine of 50 dollars. The British Consul took care, however, that his conduct should not meet with so base a reward. He transmitted to him the fol lOWing letter, and we are confident that no Englishman will say he did wrong :"-- BILITIVH Corrsmerz, Naw YORN, .Inlm 5, 1826. Stn—l regret that you should have met so ungrateful a return for your successful and humane efforts in saving the lives of the matter and crew of the British brig Skipsey—your generous con duct in not requiring remuneration for the support you afforded the crew so long on board your ship, as also the terms in which Captain Ilsto spoke to me of your uniform sympathy and kind mess, demand from me this public expression of my thanks. The fine and costs to which you have been subjected by the un grateful and scandalous conduct of one of the crew, whose life you saved, I feel it my duty to discharge, assuring you of the just feel ings of respect your conduct calls forth. I remain, Sir, your €l l ),:43ent servant,. JAMES Mr. Wm. N o i son , C apta i n o f t h e I saac Ricks, of BUCHANAN. New York. We copy from a New York Paper of the sth inst. the following paragraph, adding another to the already numerous accounts of the horrors of the Slave Trade, a.s carried on by French vessels : The Roxburgh Castle, China ship, Captain Denny, which ar rived at Quebec on the Bth ult., when six weeks out on her voyage from Plymouth to Canton, in July last, about three degrees from the Line, fell in with a large French slave schooner, rEicancre) having nearly BO slaves on board. The poor creatures shut up in the hold with the hatches closed were manacled two by two, and the scene they presented to the officers of the Roxburgh Castle when on board, is related, lays the Quebec Gaiette, as the most heart-rending and offensive. The schooner carried four guns; her complement of men had been reduced by sickness to ten, and it was with a view of obtaining medical assistance that her cargo became known on board of the Roxburgh castle. The Eleanore was carried by Captain Denny into Sierra Leone. One of the slaves, a boy, managed to conceal himself in the Roxburgh Castle, and is now on board. L. ___________ Jima Papers have also reached us. They come down to the sth March last. They Contain the reply which Bola VAR gate to the address from the citizens of the Republic named after him, in which he ex- P r h esses a hop e th at th e diff erences between Brazil and te new States will be adjusted amicably. pThese Papers likewise give a very encouraging re ort of the mines of Chile. One rich vein is said to R ave been discovered, which produced, in 20 days, silver which was equal to halt a million of dollars. This relates, we presume, to the mines near Coquimbo, accounts of which reached us from Rio de Janeiro some tune shier:. We subjoin the extract of a letter, dated at Lima on • the 13th March last : .

In the mercantile traneae. tions of this year, a continued dulness has been the moat striking feature. It is almost impossible goods should rise materially, the quantity on hand b e i ng so great. " Ii Appears by the New South Wales Papers to the sth Februar terda y, th e arrival of which we mentioned yes• Y, that the Anniversary of the Establishment' of Viiit'Colony had been eelebiated on the'26th of the preceding month with great rejoicings. The Bank of Australia appears to be succeeding well, a dividend equal in amount to 531- per cent. per annum having been declared. A motion had been carried to reduce the rate of Bank discount from 10 to 8 per cent., and a further reduction was anticipated at subsequent meetings of the Proprietory. •As an instance of the rapidity of emigration, and the consequent increase of wealth and respectability in our infant settlements, up wards of 300,000 acres of laud have been surveyed, located, and occupied during the last three years on the banks of Hunter's River. The bushrangers are stated to cause great alarm at Van Dieman s Land, they being in possession of all the open country, and the force there being apparently too weak to cope with them. We mentioned yesterday having received a letter from New South Wales, giving a very favourable ac cont of that colony. We now subjoin an extract from this letter : Lands near to Sidney, and indeed, in any of the districts on this side the Blue Mountains are now every year improving in worth, and for time to' come, must still increase in a more considerable ratio ; when I was in the colony before, I was inconsiderate enough not to care for land, and therefore, never had any granted me, and since I have arrived this time, I have been compelled to purchase, and about a fortnight since, I bought an estate of 2000 acres, for which I paid 3,4001. sterling; it is certainly a good es tate, but every thing belonging to it very much neglected, and this estate about two or three years ago, and then in much better order than now, with an addition of 400 acres of good land more than I bought, was valued at not more than 2,800/. I mention this to show the improvement in the value of lands, although all estates indiscri minately will not advance in value on the ratio this has. I bought it at auction ; generally the best test of valise for such property. It is astonishing with what rapidity this Colony is growing. • It will be a country of vast importance ere another twenty years pass away; it is impossible for the mind to keep pace with the rapidity of its progress, and it is only with us who live in it that its growth is made apparent to us by sons. new light breaking in upon us, and then exclaim, is it possible the Colony possesses these resources. The quantity of wool of late years has kept year upon year increasing in the proportion, one following the other, of from 30. to 50. per Cent., and must, from all ap pearances, for years to come do even this, and perhaps more. Our Fisheries are also beginning to be productive, and in a few years more we shall care but little about what has always been a great desideratum here—Government expenditure. Hamburgh Papers of the 26th ult. have been re ceived this forenoon. They contain accounts from St. Petersburgh to the 17th. The newly-created Supreme Tribunal had its first sitting on the 15th.

It appears that many parts of France have been vi sited by the storm which caused so much destruction here on Tuesday week. At Bhuigy (Department of the Lower Seine) , the hail was of the size of pigeons' eggs, and covered the ground 12 inches deep. The corn was entirely destroyed, and the population of the village reduced to extreme misery. SIERRA LEONE.—By a private letter, dated A ma mach, of the 20th of April, we are informed that the Ashantees have recommenced hostilities, and, it was believed, had made an attack upon Acra. The work of educating the natives is going on in our settle. ments. Mr. HUTCHINSON, a Magistrate, has set the example by opening a school for the sons of Chief tains, the expellee of which is defrayed by the fines incurred in cases decided before him. A large pro portion of the cases between the natives arises out of imputations of witchcraft, and the aid of the Magi strate is constantly sought by the Chieftains against his Satanic Majesty, to dispel incantations.--Morn ing Chronicle. A Gentleman now in Jamaica writes to us as follows, in allusion to the idea which has been enter tained of making a water communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans I have an ex tract of a letter from an old, and highly respect able Trader to the Indian coast, who is now there, setting at rest the question of the prac ticability of a communication, by the river Mandingo, (about sixty miles to the eastward of Chagres) to the South Sea. He says he went up it nine miles, and there found it nearly dry, and evidently dependant upon the annual rains ; also much blocked up with the remains of large trees. The Indians, in their Pit- Pans, go beyond the nine miles mentioned, but that, although the mountains are lower than usual in the neighbourhood of the Mandingo, is not sufficient for the purpose of communication. The same person says, that he has fallen in with no place likely to answer such a purpose, between Choca and Matina, or St. Juan's, which is a tolerable range. A Supplement to the London Gazette of yesterday was published this morning, containing the official dispatches from Sir Archibald CAMPBELL, which appeared in our Paper yesterday. It contains also a copy of a letter from Lord COMBERMERE, detailing the casualties at Bhurtpore, all which we gave a month ago. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock this Day.

His LoItDSHIP Stated that the Registrar had handed to him proceedings in a case in which a warrant had been issued to take two professional gentlemen into custody, for not delivering their bills of costs. His Lordship would of course not have signed that war rant without having read all the proceedings that led to the making of the four day's order ; those proceed ings he had read, and he felt satisfied that if the war rant were now presented to the Great Seal, he could not, and would not sign it, for this reason, that the order had been only served personally on one of the gentlemen. Though it could not be a very handsome thing for one gentleman in partnership, to say he would take advantage of the order not having been served on both him an d hi s partner, yet th e Court thought it right, regard being had to the practice of the Court, to object to the irregularity. The parties would have to serve the order again on both the gentlemen. IN THE MATTER OF SYKES, SNAITH, AND Co. BANKRUPTS. His LORDSHIP considered this to be in a narrow compass, though there had been a vast deal of difficulty in getting at the true facts, and though it was a most important case to the commercial world. The petition was presented in the bankruptcy of this banking-house in the city ; the petitioners were a Mr. Harrison and a Mr. Hippeas. Mr. Harrison was a cash creditor of the bankrupts to the amount of 1500/. He drew bills of exchange on Mr. Hippeas, which the latter accepted for the accommodation of the drawer. Those bills were carried by Mr. H. to the banking-house, and he there got them discounted in such a way, that he had credit given to him in the bankrupts' books to the amount of those bills, minus the usual charges for discount. Messrs. Sykes, and Co. then became bankrupts, and a petition was presented by the drawer and the ac ceptor, treating the acceptor as a surety for the drawer, the bills having been accepted for the drawer's ac commodation, and praying that such an arrangement might be made between the drawer and the bank rupts, as wo u ld go t o th e di sc h arge o f t h ose bill s ; otherwise the bankrupts would go, to the acceptor for the payment of them, and then the acceptor would call on the drawer, who in fact was the real, though not the nominal, acceptor, and thereby prevent his having that benefit of them from the banking-house, which he otherwise would have. A question was raised, whether Mr. Harrison alone should not have presented a petition ? Then, whether, if he had done so, the Court would have had jurisdiction ? And, thirdly, whether, not having done so, he w a s now t o be ousted o f th e b ene fi t lie would have had, if lie had presented a petition alone, and the Court had had jurisdiction ? His Lordship's opinion was, that the Court would have had jurisdiction, if the petition had been presented by M r . Harrison alone. Then came a question—whether such a thing could be disposed dm bankruptcy, or whether a bill ought to have been filed? The opinion of the Court was, that it could be disposed of in bankruptcy by a petition, and that it was to be treated on the same principles as if a bill had been filed. Then the concluding considerition was, whether, if Mr. Harrison was liable on those bills, he had not a right to have his cash-account so settled with the bankrupts as that he should have the benefirof the amount of those bills ? His Lordship thought he clearly had that right, and that therefore the order of the Court below was right. The appeal of the assignees was consequently dismissed, and all parties ordered to have their Costs out of the estate. COURT OF KING'S BENCH--(Ties DAY.) YOUNG V. HANG.L.F.Y. This was an action brought to restrain the defend ant from enclosing certain waste lands, in the parish of Cookham, in Berkshire, to the prejudice of the plain tiff (Sir Samuel Young) and others, who were en titled to commons of pasture on said lands. It ap peared that the defendant had lately become Lord of the Manor of these waste lands, which he thought proper to plant with trees in the year 1821, whereby the growth of the herbage was obstructed so as not to be sufficient to graze the usual number of cattle. The plaintiff's right to commons for larger cattle, but not to sheep, was proved, whereas the declaration stated a right to all commonable cattle in general. The Chief Justice pronounced the variance fatal, and the plaintiff was nonsuited. QUIROS V. COLLIER. Mr. POLLOCK opened the pleadings. The ATTORNEY-GENERA L stated, that this was an action of trover, brought by the executor ofJulian Pa der, a Spaniard, who had lately died at Brompton, to recover from the defendant 133 pictures,the property of the decased, which the defendant had converted to his own use. The defendant was a Spaniard, who became insolvent in this country in the year 1820. In 1823 he met Julian Pader in Spain, who advanced to him 2,500/. to purchase pictures, for the purpose of being re-sold in this country ; the defendant was to have part of the profits for his skill and trouble ; they were insured in the name of Pader ; both parties arrived shortly after in this country, and took up their residence together at Brompton. Pader died in a short time, and among his papers was found a document signed by Collier, stating that he had sold the pictures to Pader, for value reeeived. This document, and the admission by the defendant of the conversion, was the only evidence offered on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. DENMAN addressed the Jury, stating that the document in question had been signed by the defend ant for the purpose of effecting an insurance, as in Spain the property must appear to belong to the per son who gets them insured. Mrs.Radcliff—Was servant to d e f en d ant at Bromp ton ; while he lived with Pader, defendant used to de vote all his time to the cleaning of the pictures; heard Pader say, that he hoped Collier would make well of them ; she always thought they belonged to Collier. The ATTORNEY-GZNERAL replied and said, that the pictures which the last witness 'had sworn to have been attended to by Collier, at Brompton, were not the pictures in question, as the latter h ave b een f rom their arrival to this day' in the docks. by Pader, their verdict should b e f or th e The CH IEF J USTI CS briefly summed up, and told the Jury that if they thought the pict ures h a d b een bought plaintiff: if, on the contrary, that the document had been signed for the purpose of effecting the insurance, then a verdict should be for the defendant. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS--(Titts DAy.) WILLS V. BLISSZTT. This was all action brough t by Mrs. Wells to re cover from th e executors o her fath er , t h e l ate M r . Charles Blissett, the SUM of 3,1081. 198. 10d.; three per cent. consols. Th e Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff; with d a m ag es, 1,950/. 9 s . 6d., b e i ng t h e value of the said stock when transferred. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, JULY 4.—His MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge yesterday afternoon at half-past two o'clock, accompanied by the Duke of Dorset, in his pony phaeton, and followed in others by the Lord Steward, Lord Graves, Sir Andrew Barnard, Mr. Freemantle, &c., and drove to Virginia Water. His MAJESTY and party spent the greater part of the 'afternoon fishing in the Lake, which abounds with fish Of every description, and often affords most excellent sport.. At five o'cloc k his MAJESTY landed, and dined with his visitors and suite under the Royal Marquee, the private band playing at intervals during dinner. After which, his - MAJESTY again embarked on board the royal boat, and continued his excursion until nine o'clock, when he returned to the Loyal Lodge, and passed the remainder of the evening with his distin guished guests. Yesterday the Duke of,Dorset and Mr. Freemantle arrived on a visit to his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY is expected to visit Virginia water again this afternoon. At half-after three o'clock this morning the Ist Re giment of Life Guards left Windsor for London, and at five o'clock the Royal Horse Guards arrived at the Barracks in their stead. The Duke of York continued better yesterday. His Royal. Highness took an airing,, as usual, on Monday afternoon, in his carriage. The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Augusts, visited their Royal Brother yesterday. Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, transact ed business yesterday with Mr. Secretary Canning, at his office in Downing-street. The Duke of Wellington transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. _ _ Moor Park, in Hertfordshire, one of the most splendid residences and domains in this country, is shortly to be brought to the hammer. The literary habits of Mr. Southey, the Poet Lau reate, and newly-elected Member for Downton, are thus described by a contemporary :—" He rises early, and writes or reads till breakfast time. He reads or writes after breakfast till dinner ; after dinner till tea, and from tea till bed-time— And follows so the ever running year. With profitable labour to his grave.' On Derwent's Bank, beneath the foot of Skiddaw, study serves him for business, exercise, and recrea tion. He passes from verse to prose : from history to poetry ; from reading to writing, by a stop-watch. " How will Parliamentary hours and habits suit such a man ? Mr. Southey is returned from the Continent, and is at present in town. He has written, we under stand, a letter to the Earl of Radnor, expressive of his sense of the high honour which the noble Lord has so unexpectedly conferred upon him ; but at the same time stating, that, with his very limited income, he does not think it would he prudent or right in him to take his seat in the I-louse of Commons for Downton. RIDING SLOWLY! RIDING SLOWLY! ! —The late Richard Owen Cambridge was famed for very hard riding along the turnpike-road. When far ad vanced in years, however, he was met by King George the Third, walking his horse very iently down-hill.— " 'What, Cambridge ! Cambridge !' observed his Ma jesty, " Riding slowly, riding slowly !"—" Sire," re , plied the old gentleman, " I feel I am going down-hill very fast." The same gentleman was the author of a periodical paper called 4 , The World." In an absent fit, during service one Sunday at church, be continued sitting when the congregation were standing up, and was roused by his lady, by this exclamation :—" Mr. Cam bridge, what are you thinking of?"—" Of the next world, my dear." A disappointed candidate was interrogated by a friend who met him in Pall-mall, as to the result of his visit to the borough of " Why," said the wit, " I'm returned." THE MARVELLOUS.-..-Me have found the follow ing stated as a fact in the Journal du commerce de Lyons :—Dr. James Hotham, of Morpeth, Northum berland, returning from Switzerland, is stated to have reported that a most extraordinary event had lately passed at the foot of Mount St. Gothard, a league from Aizoli, in the valley of Levantine. At the bot tom of a kind of cavern, the body of a man, about thirty years of age, was perceived under a heap of ice, proceeding from an avalanche. As the body seemed to be as fresh as if it had been stifled only half an hour before, Dr. Hotham caused it to be taken out, and having had the clothes pulled off, ordered it to be plunged into cold water. It was then taken out, covered with a crust of ice, and placed first in luke warm water, and then in some water still warmer— afterwards it was put in a warm bed, and treated as usual in cases of suffocation, by which means anima tion was restored. What was the astonishment of every body, when this individual, having recovered the use of his faculties, declared that he was Roger Dods worth, son of the antiquary of the same name, born in 1629, who, returning from Italy . in 1660, a year after the death of his father, was buried under an ava lanche. Dr. Hothain, according to the same account, is stated to have added, that Mr. Dodsworth feels a great stiffness in all his joints, but that by degrees they will become as flexible as before the accident. If Mr. Dodswortb, fully recovered, should pass through Lyons to return to his country, after 166 years' ab sence, it may be predicted that he will attract in the highest degree the public curiosity. THE EARL OF CHICHESTER. . It is with very sincere regret that we hava to announce the 'death of the Bight Hon. Thomas Pelham, Earl of Chichester, and Baron Pelham, his Majesty's Postmaster-General ; which me lancholy event took place yesterday, at his Lordship's residence in Stratton-street, Piccadilly. His Lordship was born on the 28th April, 171)6, and consequently was in the 71st year of his age.— He was called up by writ of summons to the House of Peers, as Baron Pelham ' in June 1801, during the lifetime of his father, whom he succe eded in the Earldom on the Bth Jan. 18015. He Lady Mary Henrietta Juliana Osborne, the Francsi fifth Duke of Leeds, by whom he has left children.ae vdmeaarilgralrhiedicoifnol IB He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his son Henry Thomas Lord Pelham, now third Earl of Chichester. His Lordship had filled several distinguished situations in the Government of this country, and had invariably maintained the purest and most respectable character as a politician, as well as an English Nobleman. As the Hon. Mr. Pelham, in the House of Commons, he never f a iled to command respect. He commenced his official career as Principal Secretary for Ireland during the Viceroyalty of the late Duke of Portland, and afterwards filled the same office with great ability at the critical period of the memorable rebellion in that coun t r y, when the present Marquis of Camden was at the head of the Irish Government. In the Administration of Mr. Adding ton (now Lord Sidmouth) he was Principal Secretary of State for the Homo Department, which office his ill state of health only obliged him to resign ; and on his succeeding to the Earldom of Chichester, he was appointed joint Postmaster-General, and continued to hold that situation, and the office of Pottmaster- General, to the period of hie death.

HARWICH, JULY 4.—The launch of a very fine steam vessel, to be employed u a Post Office Packet on the Milford station, took place this day ; but by some unforeseen accident she went only about half way down the slip, where she now lies. The tides are however rising, and there is little doubt of her being got off safe the next night tide. We are happy to find that the account of the death of Mr. Human, late Purser of the Pylades, in the West Indica, is not correct, that Officer having arrived at Plymouth, having been invalided. His Majesty's Revenue cruiser, Cheerful, commanded by Lieut. Dabine, R.N. while cruising off St. David's Head, at three r.at., on Monday last, the 26th inst. discovered a smack-rigged vessel, about forty tons burthen, which from her appearance they knew had been in the habit of smuggling, called the Moore, of Belfast, Wm.

They immediately gave chase,. and on boarding and examining her papers, found she had cleared out at Swansea on the 11itd ult. with 22 chaldrons of coals ; however, not being satisfied, they proceeded to turn up the coals, when one of the crew acknowledged that they had on board 810 bales, con taining 18,6001b5. of unmanufectured tobacco, six rolls of manu factured roll tobacco, four boxes and one cask of green and black tea, and seven pieces of paper-hangings, which, together with the coals, stores, and materials, have been deposited in the Custom house warehouse at Milford.

The Cottons Market continues affected by the very unfavourable accounts from the manufacturing districts ; there were no sales yesterday or this forenoon. SUGAL-The Market for Muscovades continued heavy last week, on account of the continued determination of the importers to sell the produce immediately on its landing ; the iuferior de scriptions of Muscovadee were rather lower ; the other qualities were without variation. The demand for Muscovades for export continued last week; the chief purchases were 50s. a 68.1. The deliveries from the warehouses are more limited than last year; the stock is 3,000 casks more ; the market this morning opened with rather a heavy appearance. The purchases of Muscovades to-day were limited to about 600 casks; the market still exceedingly heavy, and the wholesale Grocers deterred from purchasing for the country trade, on ac count of the low price of Sugar at Liverpool, Glasgow, &c. ; the Refiners have been purchasing very small parcels lately. The prices of the purchases by private contract reported this day are 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower. By public sale this forenoon, 2,567 bags Mauritius Sugars sold heavily, bls. a bPs. being a shade lower than last week. The public sales of St. Lucia Sugars and Mauri tius on Friday went off at a reduction of Is. per cwt. The bustle in Refined goods for export continued up till nearly the close of last week, and prices about Is. per cwt. higher were realized for parcels that could be got ready for shipment previously to the sth instant, when the reduction of the bounty takes place; the wholesale Grocers purchased the fine goods, suit able for the home consumption, rather more freely, but there was no alteration in the currency ; Molasses were 255. 6d. This morning the briskness in the Refined trade has ceased, as all goods for export must be put on board to-day; but, as nearly the whole in the currency ; the wholesale grocers are not purchasing this suitable for shipping is cleared off, we cannot state any alteration morning for the home consumption ; they anticipate low prices ; the nearest quotation of Molasses is abs. At the clam of the market to-day the Baum were rather desponding : they say, if the manufacturers on the Continent can sell the refuse, the Mo lasses and Bastards, on good terms, the competition of the Eng lish goods cannot he maintained, they will be undersold : thus thc trade, which a few years ago employed four hundred menu factories in London only, will be last to the country. Lumps were offered at a considerable reduction, late in the day. In Havannalt or Brazil Sugars no purchases were reported after Tuesday last.
